"All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." ~ Abraham Lincoln

I borrowed this beautiful picture of my mom from
my sister Kay. My precious mom passed from this
earth on Sunday morning, April 29th at 8:30am. It's
so hard to let her go, but we know she is in a much
better place and that heaven has a new angel. I love
you mom, and I'll be seeing you.

Macro Iris.

Yesterday morning we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise. Terry took
this picture.


Yesterday afternoon we were blessed with this gorgeous double
rainbow after a light rain shower. God is great!

Our Japanese Maple and Lemon Thread Cypress make
for some pretty spring colors!

April Fool's Day

Our Fringe tree in full bloom. It smells great too!


Our 10 year old cat, Libby, sunning herself on the driveway on this
summer like day. Hope you've had a great Sunday wherever you are!

A leaf from my rose bush up close and personal. It's going to be
beautiful this year :0) I love macro photography!

"In the glow of the dawn,
Welcome a new day,
Greet the golden sunlight or rain,
Nature in all its subtlety.
Whip of the wind,
Earth unfolds,
Softly falling rain,
Growing plants and buds blossoming.
Visions of the earth, with glories of nature,
Beauty of the daffodils,
Sunshine and rain from a rainbow,
Awe! Nature in full bloom."
~ Blanche Black, Springtime

The Color Purple

We have lots of these pretty little violets growing in our backyard!

"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
~ Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926

April 24th Moon

Saturday was a stormy day in Middle Tennessee, but the
rain moved out in time for me to capture this spooky moon
picture.


Moon shining bright and beautiful!
